Dear Chris,

the DWG has had complaints from other mappers about your golf course mapping which has a number of data quality issues. See https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=20089427 for the comments that you have received; please reply to these comments, repair the issues mentioned (if they haven’t been already), and make an effort not to repeat the same mistakes.

Also, you MUST give a source whenever you are uploading data to OSM if that data is not readily evident from the aerial imagery. For example if you add a bunker to OSM that everyone can spot on imagery that’s fine, but if you add the number to a golf hole, that information must have come from elsewhere, and it needs to be documented where it came from. Do not, under any circumstances, use copyrighted material like third-party web sites or books unless they explicitly allow the distribution of the material.

It would be great if you could revisit the golf courses you have already added, and mention where the data came from in a public changeset comment.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm
